Expert reviews and ratings

I still, however, find myself disappointed - not with the graphics (not as shiny as DoW2, but still very solid), but with the backwards step into being just another real-time strategy game. The opening movie is inauspicious, to say the least. There...

It's always difficult to step back to a previous version.* So, having tasted what the the Dawn of War II beta had to offer, I'm doing my best to give Dawn of War: Soulstorm, the latest stand-alone expansion for Relic Entertainment's...

BEING a big fan of the Warhammer 40,000 (also known as 40K) universe, I was eagerly anticipating this release, which incidentally, is the last title of the Dawn of War series.To kick things off, theres a short introduction movie that explains why all...

Sometimes a developer just has to realize when it’s time to move on. A little over a year ago, Dawn of War released a very fun expansion, Dark Crusade. It did just about everything right for an expansion—new races, a fun new non-linear...

Kyle SudukisClassification: MA15+8.5This standalone expansion returns gamers to the rich Warhammer 40,000 universe that introduces two new armies into this violent campaign which include the Dark Eldar and the Sisters of Battle. Throw in a variety of...

On the whole then Soulstorm is certainly not a bad expansion pack, but time has certainly conspired against it. Being released almost four years after the base game much of the game is showing its legs, especially in the graphics...

It may almost be impossible to name another game other that Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War to have received as much continued support from its developers. Released all the way back in 2004 the game has just received its third expansion pack, entitled...

The back of the box would have you believe the stand-alone Soulstorm expansion for future-fantasy real time strategy game Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War adds two factions, flying vehicles, and a brand-new strategic campaign. But the far more notable...

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War was a revelation when first released back in 2004. It helped pioneer a new style of RTS in which base-building was minimized in favor of fast action, squad maneuvering and territorial control. Since then, the game has...

The series has done an incredibly good job of bringing the universe to life. Its fast-paced interpretation of the tabletop game's different races and worlds has always been a blast to play. The single player campaigns, the skirmishes, the...

Eighteen months have passed since the last Dawn of War release, and nearly four years since the original game emerged from the RTS void. In the lifecycle of interactive electronic entertainment (Sims-branded shop fodder notwithstanding), that’s a...

You don't have to fix it if it ain't broke, and although the Warhammer 40,000 franchise may be past its prime, there's nothing wrong with trying to improve on a classic. While it may not bring back the fickle fans that have...
